from bsdy.i
M Mtln Lynch, subforeman Of the
West Roxbury paving department,
was at work yesterday morning with
a gang Of Ave men cutting willows.
The party was stationed $50 feet from
the bridge, on the southeast end OF
the structure, and every man had an
Ak. Mr.. Lynch said, this morning:
eve had just begun our work. / cav
the train coming and stopped to look
at II. l saw II go on the bridge, and
noticed that the tain was acting
queer. The engine and three cars
we're across, but the whole train was
shaking and swaying most violently.
Then Just as the fourth car was half
on the bridge and half on the en-
bankment on the other side, the
bridge went down. The fiTth car
plunged down with 1t, and in Its fall
dragged back and down into the pit
belo " the fourth car, which as have
said was already half way on the
bank. The car behind the fifth car
came p,unging, crashing down upon
il, and the last car OF all, the smoker,
rolled over twice as It went down the
embankment. my God, the bridge is
down; run boys and take your axes
l yelled. / started as fsst as | could
60, and they with me. 1t was an
awful sight. Such struggling and
signing and moaning / never heard in
all my lie. Some of the passengers
who fret succeeded in getting clear OF
the wreck seemed dazed, bewildered,
scarcely able to realize what had hap
pened or where they were. Others
could and did help us, but on the
south eide OF the wreck there was no
help for nearly ten minutes. The
smoker was the car that We came to
first. Our boys swung their axes with
will. We knocked in the end OF the
car, cut way between the windows,
and then went la ourselves and began
the work of rescue. We saw the uni
form of Officer Walter Labor and took
him out. He WAS unconscious when
we reached him aud probably dead,
although his lips quivered for a
minute or two after We laid him out
beside the wall. We took out Mr..
Snow, who was dying, and at least
dcxon other injured persons. The un-
hurt passengers, II there were any Il
don't remember seeiug man in this
car but was more or less bruised or
scared), helped US, aud we emptied
the car, taking out the cushions
and laying the injured upon
them. BY this time teams had be-
gan to cone, and we placed the wound
ed in them by twos and threes and they
were carried of to the engine house at
Roslndsls. All was confusion. PEG.
pie were docking to the place. Every
body was screaming and shouting,
tome with pain, others giving orders.
l cannot remember incidents with
much dis inotness after this, for too
was getting excited. l only know that
W. kept at work until 10 o'clock, and
stayed until all were taken away.
